MS HB776

Extends the repeal date of the Public Safety Verification and Enforcement Act from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2025

The Act establishes an electronic motor vehicle insurance verification system operated by the Department of Public Safety to confirm drivers have minimum required liability coverage

Law enforcement can access the system during traffic stops or accident investigations, with system results superseding physical insurance cards presented by drivers

Vehicle owners must have valid liability insurance verified through the system to register or renew vehicle registration

Operating without minimum liability insurance is a misdemeanor punishable by $100 fine and 1-year license suspension until proof of insurance is provided and fees are paid
